ANECDOTE

Derek’s ECR Win Brag

  • Derek Brown brags about a recent first-place finish in FantasyPros' ECR accuracy competition and enjoys the hot streak.
  • He humorously expects others like Pat Fitzmaurice to surpass him by season's end.
INSIGHT

Jared Goff’s Play-Action Ceiling

  • Jared Goff is playing elite-level passing football despite low rushing upside and inconsistent fantasy weekly outputs.
  • He benefits from high play-action usage and a Chiefs defense vulnerable to play-action, making him a high-ceiling start this week.
ADVICE

Flex Haskins Or Vidal Against Miami

  • Start Hassan Haskins or Kimani Vidal as flex options this week because Miami's run defense is extremely vulnerable.
  • Prefer Vidal if you must choose one due to better breakaway and missed-tackle metrics, but both have usable roles.
